GEORGE WASHINGTON by ANONYMOUS

First Line: BY BROAD POTOMAC'S SILENT SHORE
Last Line: ART TO HIS FAME NO AID HATH LENT; / HIS COUNTRY IS HIS MONUMENT
Subject(s): "PRESIDENTS, UNITED STATES;WASHINGTON, GEORGE (1732-1799);"
BY broad Potomac's silent shore
Better than Trajan lowly lies,
Gilding her green declivities
With glory now and evermore;.
Art to his fame no aid hath lent;
His country is his monument.
